I really didn't want to have to do this, but it seems I'm gonna make a rule here: please do not review telling me that this lacks 'Substance', it is crack, I've already warned you of that so don't get mad when you find out I'm telling the truth! Also, don't review saying that there are grammatical mistakes in the quote, I'm taking it word for word, comma for comma, from the original game text in pokemon Yellow, and I feel it's best if I leave it how it was. If I do by chance fail to copy it properly, I would appreciate you calling me out on that one.

All that said, let's get to the very next bit, the very first thing your mom says to you (yeah, anther one with a more major NPC, but I found this one funny enough, and I haven't chosen what started I want while I'm playing through the game yet, so I didn't want to go too far from the beginning).

Quote (from mom): Right. All boys leave home someday. It said so on TV.

When you examine the TV in the room: There's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks.

My thoughts: Getting parenting advice from TV? Well my parents just stuck me in front of the thing so they didn't even have to bother explaining what TV said, so makes perfect sense in my view! And as for the text if you clicked on the TV; I feel it's referencing the movie 'Stand by Me', based on a book by Stephen King. If you haven't seen it, then I'll give a brief summary. Four boys hear about a dead body a long hike away from their home, and think it would be cool to go see it. This leads to a very dangerous journey, but it helps them grow up a lot, and it becomes a major part of their lives. Also, there is a little more to the text for each, but I think it's a little irrelevant.

Now for the fic!

"Oh my!" a woman said while cooking breakfast for her son, "They are going to be hit by a train!" She was watching TV as she cooked the movie 'Stand by Me' playing. "How can children be so reckless at times?" She shook her head in disapproval, "but still, it's all part of growing up I guess". She smiled, remembering her days as a young girl, always out playing with pokemon, and fighting gym leaders. "I guess it can't be helped".

She heard footsteps upstairs and soon her son came down to greet the morning. "Ah, Jack, you're finally awake". She placed his plate on the table, full of eggs and bacon. Jack took a seat and ate his breakfast. "Oak was calling for you earlier. You should go see him later".

There was no response from her son, so she was a little worried. Maybe he needed an adventure, just like the boys on TV. "You know", she started, "All boys have to leave home someday. Maybe you need to find an adventure. And Oak Is the perfect man to ask. He's willing to give dangerous pokemon to minors, and I'm sure he's got some good advice.

Her son finished his meal, then nodded and stood up before leaving the house. Once he was gone she stared back at the TV. "WAIT, WHAT AM I THINKING? HE'S GONNA GET KILLED OUT THERE! JACK, COME BACK! YOU'RE NEVER ALLOWED TO LEAVE HOME, EVER!"

Well uhh… not too much comedy, but I do love the movie 'Stand by Me' so that may have gotten in the way a bit. Also, I know this one is much shorter than the first, but sadly, I think this will be more or less the average length of any given chapter. Anyway, I promise more Jokes in the next one, and less major characters. Oh, and one more thing. The main character (Jack) shouldn't appear too often, but when he does I'm probably going to avoid letting him speak, so yeah…

And so we go…
